keepassxc-cli: Copy an entry's password to the clipboard.
$ keepassxc-cli clip ${path-to-database_file} ${entry_name}
try on your machine

This command is using the KeepassXC command-line interface (cli) to copy the field value of a specific entry in a KeepassXC database file to the clipboard.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • keepassxc-cli: This is the command to launch the KeepassXC command-line interface.

  • clip: This is an argument passed to the command-line interface, which tells KeepassXC to copy the field value to the clipboard.

  • ${path-to-database_file}: This is a placeholder for the actual file path of the KeepassXC database file. You need to replace it with the correct path to your own database file.

  • ${entry_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the entry in the database file from which you want to copy the field value. You need to replace it with the actual name of the entry you want to use.

In summary, this command will copy the field value of a specific entry in a KeepassXC database file to the clipboard.
